♡ Or Will You Not? || Cody Carson {COMPLETE}

6. Letting Go

(Pretty sensitive chapter  towards the end I guess. Not present day.)

Vic's POV:

I smiled over at the living room. I had so many good memories there. Like the time we were all playing a game and Cody kept losing. The time Riot danced around like an idiot when she found out we were getting a puppy. The time when she kept throwing whip cream at Cody's face and the hiding behind Kota.

I smiled more as I relived those memories and so many more that were in there. Hell, this whole house was full of almost nothing but good memories. I would miss this place, that much was sure.

I sighed and took a swig of the beer in front of me. I wanted to have one more look around this place before I left. I wanted to leave on good terms. And I couldn't do that sober, I knew that fucking much.

I looked around the kitchen, remembering some of the better memories in here. There was the time we were all trying to make a pizza and Kota and Riot kept ruining each other's pizzas. The time we all went out and got so hammered, we ended up passed out all over the counter and floor. There was the Halloween party where I told first told Riot I loved her. Yeah, it was probably the worst timing, but I needed to get it out then.

I got up and leaned against the backdoor and over looked the yard, remembering how Kota and Riot played chase with the puppy all day long. How we had snowball fights in the winter, how Riot kept shoving snow down Cody's pants, how we had campouts here in the summer. There was one particular night that rung clear to me.

Riot giggled and made the husky, Oliver, dance around a bit. He looked so sad, which I couldn't blame him if I was being forced to dance. Kota giggled her ass off, for the millionth time that night, and handed Oliver one of his puppy toys. Cody looked over at me, rolled his eyes and went inside to get some more food.

"Babe, guess what!" Riot ran up to me and had a grin on her face that told me nothing but trouble. It was one of her shit face grins. Not good news.

I shrugged and took a swig of my sprite, smiling up at her. Even though she was the tiniest thing I've ever seen, it felt weird having to look up at her. Yeah, I was sitting down on the porch steps but it still felt weird.

"I don't know, Kota finally agreed to let you kill Cody and help hide the body?" She giggled again and sat next to me. "Oh no, I know! You finally find out the reason why Kota does nothing but giggle all the damn time? Because if so, we have to go to some scientist and show them."

She shook her head and hit me in the face. Well, she had a bunch of shaving cream in her hand, so didn't really hurt hurt me if that makes any sense? she started giggling again and ran off to where Kota was actually dying of laughter.

They were such damn children, I swear. IT didn't help any that Cody bust out laughing at me too. I glared at him and grabbed the nearest napkin next to me. Oh, I was gonna get them back later tonight. But for right now, it was starting to turn dark and we had to start the fire.

Why were we camping out in our backyard instead of in an actual camping place? Well, Kota had wanted to stargaze and Riot wanted to start a fire. So, what a better way than to do both of those things by camping? Of course they were turned off of the idea at first because they thought it'd include actually going camping.

Ew, who the hell would want to actually go into the woods and get attacked by bugs? Certainly not me. Even though we'd probably get eaten to death by bugs out here anyway. Good thing I bought a bunch of OFF! spray earlier. And besides, we aren't gonna be out here for that long.
